Alliance favs: Cut Short and Blood of Our Fathers.
Horde favs: Edge of Night and In the Shadow of the Sun.

Really loved Cut Short. It made me happy and you got to know Gelbin. I had no idea what Mekkatorgue was like, until I read this. It was greatly written, a perfect mix of humor and seriousness and now I want to know more about the character xD

More Varian like we saw in Blood of Our Fathers, please! Liking his personality in MoP so far :)

Edge of Darkness was a lot like I had expected and I loved it <3 Now more story revolving the forsaken, I've already done most of the quests. I also need more Lydon, he truly is an interesting character.

I didn't think In the Shadow of the Sun would be good, but when I read it I realised there was more to Lor'themar than I thought. Never really here anything about him, so this was refreshing :)

Keep up the good work Blizzard and I really wouldn't mind if you made more stories revolving around the leaders.

I remember not particularly liking Seeds of Faith because honestly, I felt it focused too much on Shandris and not enough on Tyrande.

I think the two stories I like the most are Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince, because of how delightfully ruthless the narration and content is and Cut Short because finally, Gelbin is no longer the weird-looking dwarf greeting the Horde when they've finished raiding Stormwind and come through the Tram to take Ironforge as well. He's that, but awesome while doing it.

I liked the Blood of Our Fathers best (this is my opinion). The rest are also very good.

I've read "Lord of his Pack", "Fire and Iron" and "Cut Short" for the Alliance. Ultimately, "Cut Short" was my favourite suprisingly. I've never really liked gnomes, but still...really enjoyed reading it.

Edge of Night (Sylvanas's Story) is the only one I've read fully. And I loved it even though I am a rabid Worgen Fan so I'm going to have to get around reading "Lord of his Pack" real soon. All in all a great series of short stories.

Okay, now can we confirm that Seeds of Faith was a tragic accident that should never have gotten out to the public?
